There is a rogue group of copyright infringers who have stolen a much earlier version of my data - from at least 10 years ago - and have the affrontery to publish that, along with using my name, on their poorly researched website. They claim this is the 'original' Kracker Archive, a ridiculous claim since my Archive has been in a state of continuous development for over 30 years and nobody - NOBODY - has the original. They have no right to use my name or my data and readers who come across this nonsense should do nothing to encourage theft of this nature. I am outraged by this blatant theft and misrepresentation of my lifetime's work. The ONLY person I have ever authorized to publish my data and use my name is Kelvin Youngs, who earned my trust and respect many years ago and is authorized by me to publish my work on whichever website he organizes, currently this being its present home at the highly respected Aircrew Remembered.

Fighter Operational Clasp in Gold
MIA since 19 April, 1943 when he had to make a forced landing in Wk# 14810 on frozen Lake Bolschoje, near Murmansk, after aerial combat with Soviet fighters (Hurricanes) of 2/GSAP/VVS. Another source identified the G-2 as Wk # 14810. His victor is thought to have been Soviet Ace, Lt Nikolai Bokii. He was picked up by a Soviet patrol a few days later. Never repatriated, he was seen in a Murmansk prison in 1947, and has been missing ever since. He seems to have died in Soviet captivity, but one source claims he lived until the 1990s, after a long career as a flight instructor in the USSR. New Soviet publicatios say he was shot in a POW Camp on 21 October, 1943, identified as Lager (Camp) Temnikov by P. Bastin. Presumably, all his victories were in the East. His first known victory, a Soviet I-16 on 12 September, 1941, on his third mission. On 26 April, 1942, he downed five Pe 3s of 95 IAP. By the end of 1942, his victory count was around 80. His 94th, and last victory, JG-5s 500th victory was claimed on 13 March, 1943. Injured in a non-operational crash in Wk#13919 on 3/8/43 south of Alakurtti due to engine trouble. Alternate spelling: Mueller.
(Added by Pietrzak Youngs)


Muller on the day he was awarded the Ritterkreuz on the Murmansk front in June 1942. By tradition the new holder on that day was saluted by all ranks and himself saluted no-one.

Müller returning from successful mission

On February 21, 1943, two P-40 fighters and five Hurricanes (British single-seater fighter aircraft) took off from the Soviet Military air base in Chupa on a World War II mission to halt an attack by the German Luftwaffe. One of the Hurricanes was piloted by 22-year-old Boris Alexandrovich Lazarev from the 760th IPA. During the mission, he encountered German pilot Oberfeldwebel Rudolf Muller of 6 Jagdgeschwader, 5the fighter squadron Luftwaffe (German Air Force) 'Expertenstaffel' and his squad of four Bf 109G fighters. Lazarev was shot down by Muller near a railway station in Polyarnyi-Krug. Lazarev's mummified remains were recovered from a swamp in January 1998.
